Democrats move to formally censure Trump over Charlottesville

Democrats move to formally censure Trump over Charlottesville | 16 Aug 2017 | House Democrats are introducing a formal resolution to denounce President Donald Trump for saying that "both sides" are to blame for a violent encounter between white supremacists and neo-Nazis and the activists who showed up to protest them. While the censure is unlikely to see traction in the GOP-led House, it serves as a rebuke to Trump and mirrors some of the Republican criticism the president has faced for his remarks...Just three Democrats have signed onto the measure, but Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., says he expects more to follow.
